Twenty five years after September 11th, the hosts compare notes on where they were that morning, and the gap between those old enough to remember it and those who were not born yet. One documentary estimate puts a number on how fast that gap is growing.

Life before that day looked different in ways that are easy to forget now. The hosts revisit what flying used to be like, from what passengers could carry onto a plane to how quickly all of it changed within months.

The anniversary also brings up a personal story tied to a Canadian album released that same day, a canceled tour, and a father's warning that ended up reshaping a relationship for years afterward.

Topics: 9/11 anniversary, life before 9/11, air travel, Throwback Thursday, generational memory
